Today's Toby

Some pictures that Toby's teacher sent us.  

Having some puzzle fun.  

Spencer also likes reading about the dogs!  So much to teach the little bro!  

Run to the left, then straight, but only if you touch the fence, then back to start and around the box, and stay on the line If you get confused, just follow me.  

For some reason, Toby has decided it's much safer to walk down the twisty slide.  And yes, those are the Duplo figures (by his foot) who are currently standing in for his classmates. Very possible that they will be frequent guests here on the blog.  

Sometimes you get to the top of the slide and it looks a lot bigger than it did from down below.   

We're still not comfortable playing with Perro, but we did have fun showing her our new dog book from the library.  

A cardboard box is always a great toy.  

So I said, "I'm Ghana go to Uzbekistan!" Get it? GHANA go? Tough crowd.  

Obviously, the letter of the day was "B" for Books. You seem confused.  Where did I lose you?  

 

Strike a pose! (Also, Go Gorlocks!)  

Having some fun with the water fountain before they turn them off for the winter.   

Reading a story to Mom and Spencer.  

It's weird that they call these PLAYgrounds. Doesn't everyone just come here for the snacks?  Mmmm. Snacks. 

Don't worry, Nightshirt. He won't forget about us.  

 It was a year later than planned, but today was our big guy's first day of school. He was a bit nervous but was very brave grabbing his teachers hand and walking in. Only tears so far were Mom and Dad's. Looking forward to a great year with Miss Samira, Miss Marsha, and new friends!

 Toby was very pleased with his Birthday cupcakes. He really wanted to help make them. Pink and teal cupcakes were requested. Mommy and Toby mixed the colors together. Then Mommy did the pouring. Adding the sprinkles!

As your Cruise Director, I want to see you having some real FUN out there. You hear me? Let's do this!  

We've played with bubbles before, but I think this was our most successful attempt at blowing them.  

This is the face of someone who's learning to negotiate.
